Clarence Thomas's wife launches tea party site
The remarkably well-promoted AmericaSpeakingOut.org isn't the only the conservative Web colossus launching today. A few months after the (overheated) argument over why the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was launching a tea party-style activist project, the project is live: LibertyCentral.org.
On first blush, it's as non-controversial as I expected back in February, when I first heard about the project. Thomas has been in the conservative trenches for decades, and what her team has put together here looks like a prettier and less red-hot version of sites like ResistNet. (One of LC's staffers, Brian Faughnan, came from the aborted but not-very-controversial Washington Times project TheConservatives.) There are plenty of salutes to the troops and to liberty in general, and here's the poll running on the site:
